Fireball XL5 is the name of an indie-pop show hosted by Frank Seglenieks that for 18 years was on CKMS 100.3 FM Radio Waterloo. However, as a result of a format change in mid-2008, Fireball XL5 is now heard only as a podcast.

Of course I stole the name of the show from the 60s British Supermarionation program, which featured puppets kind of like the movie Team America. I play alternative music that usually classified as indie-pop with the occasional feature on a particular artist or theme as well as discussions on pop culture topics of the day. I start off each show with the best song that I have heard since the last

show.

Note that the links to shows older than 6 months might not be working, if you really want those shows please send me an email and I can get them to you.

This was a rundown of my favourite albums of 2014, I tried to stay away from songs that I played during the best singles of 2014 show. It was a toss up for my top album between the top 2 but in the end I went with the band Alvvays by a hair.
